How would you describe your relationship with your freelance writing business?

Is it a fling, where you’re 100% focused for brief passionate stints and then sort of forget about it?

Are you in a honeymoon period, where you want to learn more about every aspect of it?

Is it a situation that was sweet once-upon-a-time, but has devolved into needy, clingy, obsessive behavior?

Would you describe yourself as the parent of a young child, a bit tired out but always offering it nourishment?

Whatever type of relationship you’re in, today’s episode is going to help you get some new insights into how your approach to the business side of things impacts your outcomes. Grab your freelance journal and a pen for this one.
